Authorization Bypass Through User-Controlled Key

CVE-2022-3019

Severity High
Score 8.8/10

Summary

The forgot password token basically just makes us capable of taking over the account of whoever comment in an app that we can see (bruteforcing comment id's might also be an option but I wouldn't count on it, since it would take a long time to find a valid one).
